The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC20X600SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 600mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.
Stretching a bore 20 MAC barrel to 600 mm turns it into a slim long-reach pusher - the stroke sits beyond the 500 mm standard range, so it is produced to order at this length. Double acting with a variable air cushion at each end, it carries 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa the push climbs to 219.8 N.
The riveted stainless barrel and 8 mm hard-chrome rod keep this a light-duty tool over a long span, and the CM round-end back cover takes pivot pins directly. Work to roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa and expect about 8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - right for sliding doors, gates or lightweight lifts, not heavy rams.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MA-series datasheet. Barrel: stainless-steel tube (round-body, riveted rolling-packed construction); piston rod: carbon steel with 20µm hard-chrome plating; covers: aluminium alloy. Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT. Every MA-series cylinder ships with a built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position sensors.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 185 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

| ×600 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion), MAR (cushioned with integrated F/U mount). Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Swinging a 3 kg divert gate across a conveyor lane, driven through the CM pivot rear cover.
Pushing cartons off a pick face where a long, slim stroke clears the full rack depth.
Raising a lightweight tray in a lab autobatcher using the roughly 8 kg vertical-lift margin.
Compare the 131.9 N pull at bore 20 against 245.3 N of push from a bore 25 before committing - doubling force may need only one bore step. Over 600 mm of stroke, guide the load externally; side loads bend an 8 mm rod fast. The piston coasts when air is removed, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock if position must hold. CM round-end cover plus an SDB pivot bracket gives a swinging mount; FA flange or LB foot fixes it rigid.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.0 N and pulls 131.9 N; supply 0.7 MPa and the figures reach 219.8 N and 184.7 N, with a 32 kgf theoretical ceiling at 1.0 MPa. Pressure range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-800 mm/s, port 1/8".
The standard bore 20 MAC tops out at 500 mm, so this 600 mm version is built to order at that length; ordering codes, ports and mounting otherwise follow the standard MAC construction, with the magnet still included for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
